Screen Captures of the Day - Shuttle

I didn't really enjoy Shuttle while I was watching it—I felt generally restless (which can either mean the film is effective, or tedious), and I was also exasperated at the characters' inability to save themselves from the obvious hard time that was coming.

Still, Shuttle left a mark. Something about its insistent, un-glorified, almost banal cruelty made it linger. I can't recommend it for everyone, I can't even really recommend it, but it's stuck with me like a stomachache.
